Where is the IR sensor on the Roamio Pro? I want to block it so the unit only accepts RF commands. I have a second Tivo Premier setup to use for ota broadcasts and don't want the Roamio to respond to it's ir comands.

You should just map each remote to a different address.

Under settings, there is an option to program the remote which tells you how and the codes to try.

I have my remotes set up to control the volume on my Denon and Sony receivers (different rooms), but I've never gotten the remotes to turn the receiver on/off, have you?

I have a Denon 887 and the Glo remote that came with my Elite can definitely turn the Denon on/off by pressing the "TV Pwr" button. I haven't attempted to setup the Roamio remote to do this yet though.

With my current Tivo, we have 'his' and 'her' remotes to control the same Tivo, so being able to support up to ten Roamio RF remotes is great, however how does one purchase a second Roamio RF remote?

Not finding it under accessories on the Tivo website.

YES - and along the his and hers home happiness lines can another flavor Tivo remote work? Like a Premiere or Glo extra remote from Weakknees? Those of course would just be IR but still work with the official Roamio RF remote on a single Roamio unit?

I didn't go to any menu. The RF remote worked fine, and my Harmony remote and also my S4/S3/S2 remotes worked fine with the Roamio Pro too. I didn't need to set anything for them both to work properly.

This was the case with my original Roamio Pro as well as the replacement.

I picked up a Premiere remote to go with my Roamio remote (and maintain marriage bliss). I definitely like the Roamio remote better. More compact mainly. The button layout is a little confusing between the two but we are coming off 13 years of Sony Series 1 remote so there are many new things to learn.

I'll probably buy another Roamio remote when somebody starts selling them. The RF is handy and the more compact design fits my wife's hand better. Both of them were easy to set up to control the tv.

Hmm pretty much faced with same problem, Premiere and Roamio in the same room, programmed the Premiere remote with a different remote address, but the Roamio remote doesn't seem to allow you to change the ir remote address and for whatever reason it randomly sends ir commands rather then rf so it affects the Premiere because it uses remote address 0 on ir. If I change the Roamio remote to ir mode and then do the tivo+pause combo to program the remote it doesn't work. Other then use two Premiere remotes, any other suggestions?

I'm having no issues with the Roamio remote affecting my two tuner Premiere in the same room. I don't use the remote very often, but when i do, the Premiere never responds to it. The only thing i did with the Roamio remote was enter the code so it would work with my Denon receiver. Maybe you need to start from scratch and put the Roamio remote back in RF mode?

It's definitely in RF mode. It just likes to randomly send one or two commands via IR which happens to be at remote code 0 which the Premiere responds to. I called TiVo about it and the tech guy said it shouldn't be dropping out of RF mode like that and so to look for interference and or low batteries. Replaced the batteries and it still happens. Haven't figured out what may be interfering yet as there is no cordless phone, cell phone, router, or such near by to cause interference at such close range between the remote and Roamio. I had suggested that they should of put the ability of the IR mode to be programmed to a different remote code for the IR, but he kind of blew that off as it "shouldn't be dropping out of RF mode" .. thats all well and good, but it does. So I have had to (unfortunately) resort to programming the Premiere remote for each TiVo when I want to access it and just use the IR until I can figure it out. Not sure it's worth the cost in shipping to have TiVo replace the remote.
